Jul 9, 2024, 09:00 PM

U.S. intelligence officials have reported that Russia is attempting to influence the 2024 U.S. presidential election by targeting specific voter demographics and swing states, and promoting divisive narratives. The Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) has not detected any country planning to degrade or disrupt the U.S. ability to hold the election. However, Russia is seen trying to influence voter groups, denigrate specific politicians, and promote narratives that undermine President Biden's campaign and the Democratic Party. The Kremlin's efforts are consistent with previous elections, indicating a preference for Republican candidate Donald Trump. There have been no indications of China planning to influence the election outcome.
